-TIMESTAMPS-
0:00 intro
0:05 We scored a good goal and had more chances to get the equaliser, first half was not as good as the second.
0:54 We need to do everything we can to play two good halves. We are working hard in the transfer market to improve the squad.
1:36 I think we have done a lot right with Richarlison, every club has injuries, it’s something for the football authorities to look into.
2:29 Disappointing to be knocked out of the cups. We wanted to do everything we could to win the game but we faced a good Villa team that had two great moments
3:29 The momentum we had in the second half, had more passion and energy than villa.
4:09 It is disappointing, we are all hurt. We want to do more to get through to the next round. We went full strength
5:01 I don’t think players are losing control, it’s all about keeping a cool head, they gave everything out there. Ollie is very provoking, he walks into Joao, he could walk around Joao.
5:49 There was one game with Watkins last season but I don’t want to speak about Villa.
6:33 You need to play with passion, sometimes you play to the line.
6:52 We had a lack of depth and quality on the bench. We didn’t have a midfielder on the bench.
7:49 we have to start performing to get fans onside. We could see second half, the fans and players were fantastic second half

Did Ollie Watkins provoke Joao Palhinha after the full-time whistle? 🤔
Ben Mee attempted to tackle John McGinn in 2023 when Villa beat Brentford at thier place 1-2. Mee went in high, with studs showing and it was a straight red. Frank, came out and defended Mee. Since that day I released then,this man is an oxygen thief, with these comments after dirty Spirs kicked Villa off the park. It all but confirms, he's an oxygen thief
Grow up,ollie brushed my shoulder 😂😂😂😂😂😂 bad losers 😂😂😂🎉UTV
Your provoked so you lash out! Most of us learn by the age of 8 that normally thats not a good idea.
This guy looks cooked. The ultimate definition of being stressed out! This club destroys players / managers. We are cursed 😔
A man must know his limitations.
Sack Thomas Frank when he was signed i thought he was brave turns out he is a scared little mug of a manager he doesn't even understand some games lost can be accepted by the fans because football is a game of win or lose nothing between but when u value caution over risk u lose a game with such disappointment
Ange understood that that's why his team never feared anyone they fought until the end
Palhinha tried to long term injure our whole team, he is a disgrace and should never play football again
Richarlison is NOT injured. He limped off the pitch but was walking fine when he went down the tunnel. He is usless, needs 10 open goals to score one and threw the towel in because we were playing so bad and should be sacked. Great team performance in the second half, just shows that we need to change the style and stop pissing around trying to play out, because we are not good enough to do that.
Frank way, way out of he's depth in every way, Palhinho was the cause of the trouble after and should have recieved a second yellow.
I cant believe im saying this ..i feel for fans imagine listening to your manager and thinking hes on tablets..or for manager who has to something to deal with the club ..both need help ..what a mess
Palhina kicked lumps out of every Villa player he cud get close too, hes no footballer just a hatchet man, no skill just a stopper, we pay too be entertained with goals and skills not hatchet men
i think the brawl was unncessary, spurs play very dirty in most games but hardly get penalized for it
Lose or draw against West Ham could be it
I think he was watching a different game Spuds are a dirty team Palhina is not even a footballer let's kick anything that moves a real clown 🤡
Thomas looks 10 years older…
Palhinia dirty player
Dirty tactics Frank in second bhalf
They played dirty
Anyone left for Spurs to ruin? Frank too good for this hopeless squad 😂.
the fact pauline spent all game provoking every single villa player was ignored
